This week’s topic

The further escalation of sanctions against Russia has increased the uncertainty of the upstream supply of natural diamonds. On March 11, US President Biden signed an executive order prohibiting the United States from importing non industrial diamonds and other commodities from Russia. It remains to be seen whether the scope of the import ban is direct import or origin traceability. Russia is the largest producer and exporter of natural diamonds in the world. In 21 years, the output of natural diamond rough in Russia accounted for 32% of the world, with an output of more than 37 million carats. With the increase of European and American sanctions against Russia and the extension of time, the uncertainty of global upstream supply of natural diamonds has increased, or structural changes have taken place, forming two systems of Russian diamonds and non Russian diamonds, affecting the whole natural diamond industry chain and changing the existing business status of the middle and downstream.
